I can't believe the the players are "hacks", the coach is an egotist( actually hope so- the good ones always are) and the owner is naive (probably one of those naive succesful business owner types who buy sports frachises just to make them fail on purpose so bitter bystanders can say "told you so")

You certainly are judgemental "shocker1" and even offensive.

All this too and a ball hasn"t been kicked in anger!

This sounds to me like a disgruntled ex player or employee with sour grapes....just my humble opinion.

What I like about all of the above is that the Jesters are a day old and are being criticised in a "Saint-like" manner by bitter fans....welcome to New Orleans !!!

I read an article and was pleased to see our City getting a pro team.
Period.

I really did not want to be dragged into what is an obvious personal agenda from a disgruntled ex player or employee.(shocker 1)........but its fun.

I find it incredible that "shocker1" can make extremely patronizing and condescending comments about the players, their motives and salaries.(Never mind his or her opinion on the characters of the coach and owner) - and a ball hasn't even been kicked in anger !!

Its just like being a Saints Fan already... all the opinions, some controversy, attacking players, owners and coaches!!!

Despite your parenting advice I will still take my kids to watch the local pro soccer team.

Why you feel so emotive to "scream at the top of your lungs" about the efforts of people in the entertainment industry is your business and not mine.

May I suggest this is why you are not head coach of Jesuit , Brother Martin, Rummel, or any other strong soccer school... but i am sure they also appreciate your advice in the same way I do.

May I also suggest that similar to watching something that offends you on television- you can just change the station.

I might just ask my kids to "scream at the top of their lungs" in support, but they will have the choice to decide that for themselves.

Perhaps you should check it out yourself first before rushing to such judgements about others efforts and tell the players to their face that they are "hired hacks"..... then perhaps you could just change the station.

Well I'm going to check them out and take the kids to watch. I suppose they have got to start somewhere and if that involves beating some college kids from Baton Rouge, well thats great. I personally like to see a winning team.It seems they have ambition to be in the MLS sooner than later, and hope that I get to see them do that. Lets get behind another New Orleans team.....Go Jesters!!
